Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Comfortable, Durable, Good Ventilation, Highly Adjustable, Lightweight
Describe Yourself:
Beginner
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this as my first paddling lifevest for use with my first kayak. It has been great. It's been so great that we bought another one for our second kayak used by my husband and friends. I'm a short female, and my husband is a pretty big guy. It is comfortable and absolutely does not interfere with paddling. My only complaint, and it's not a big one, is that unlike traditional ski vests, it zips on the side rather than down the front. This is a wonderful vest!

By Reebee from Napa CA on 3/26/2008
Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Comfortable, Good Ventilation, Highly Adjustable, Lightweight, No bulk under the arms, Pocket and rings helpful
Cons:
Pocket could be bigger
Best Uses:
Boating, Paddling
Describe Yourself:
Aggressive Rider
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this for catamaran sailing and surf ski paddling. Far more comfortable than my old fashioned vest which had padding all the way around. Movement is now easier, especially twisting. I would prefer more storage space, like a bigger pocket. Overall I am very pleased.

Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Best Uses:
Kayaking, Paddling
Describe Yourself:
Aggressive Rider
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I had a Retro Avenger for several years and unfortunately it walked at a regatta. It is very comfortable, Easy to put on in a hurry, Easiliy adjustable, fits over foul weather Gear nicely. I tried several others the past few weeks, even one with warming pockets but they did not fit right- the zipper makes this one easy to done. Would be nice to have SOLAS on it but I am adding.
